Shepard Arms is proud to offer this classic Smith & Wesson Model 66-2 Combat Magnum chambered in .357 Magnum. Introduced as the stainless steel counterpart to the legendary Model 19, this K-frame revolver represents the golden era of S&W craftsmanship. This specific late-production 66-2, manufactured in 1986, features the highly desirable hammer-mounted firing pin and pre-dates the internal key lock system. Wearing its original Goncalo Alves wood target grips and a brilliant brushed stainless finish, this 6-inch magnum is an exceptionally clean, collector-grade piece that is just as capable on the range as it is in the safe.
